The CLC Literacy Working Group (LWG) includes union and federation representatives with an interest in literacy and clear language. The LWG meets twice a year to share information and resources, learn from our collective experiences and advise the CLC on literacy work. Contact your LWG representative for more information about what's going on in your organization.
